Cannabis growing game in your browserFrom a closet
to an empire.
You start with one plant in a closet and build, level by level, up to the Empire Seat: 7 facilities, a lab, genetics, lands across seven regions and a player market. Everything runs on a server: nobody cheats.

Deterministic growth engine
Real growth phases, zero shortcuts
Every plant undergoes five distinct stages without exception, harvestable strictly when the final phase completes. The deterministic engine enforces it: neither multi-day absences nor pay-to-win accelerators can skip a phase.

Germination
The seed cracks open and puts out its root: steady moisture and gentle warmth.

Phase-specific techniques, once per crop
Each horticultural technique can only be applied in its biomechanically valid stage. Applied elsewhere, the engine blocks it with educational reasoning. Cumulative bonus is strictly capped at +20%.

Forge & Breeding, in the laboratory
Raw crop by-products craft high-grade sellable derivatives in the Forge; the Breeding Chamber crosses genuine botanical lineages into progressively stabilized F1→F4 seed batches.

The in-game cast
The people who work with you
Every area of the game has its character: they talk, blink, laugh and give you missions. When you hire a Personnel NFT for a job, its portrait takes that place.

“Hi, grower! I’m Chrono and I’ll show you how to start. First: look at your plant, it’s thirsty.”
URBANO MONTI 1587 · PLANISFERIO CARTOGRÁFICO
A planet with seven regions
The world map is rendered upon Urbano Monti’s 1587 planisphere (public domain), resampled and tinted in the game’s signature palette. Ships, cargo planes, and occasional UFOs cross its skies.

The $FLORA economy
Almost everything that comes in gets burned, and it is tested
The browser only asks for actions. The server decides whether they are valid, charges, credits and records everything in a ledger. A player simulation automatically checks three design promises on every rule change.
⏱️
Free to play, real pace
Tent ≈ day 10 · Greenhouse ≈ day 41 · Hydroponics > 4 months.
Everything is reachable without paying: it just takes longer and good growing.
Paying helps, with a cap
At most ≈2.5× faster, and no tier is ever skipped.
Speed-ups have a daily cap and each costs more than the last; builds still take time even if you pay.
Most of it is burned
Over 120 simulated days, the free player burns 82% of what it earns and the paying player 99%.
Builds, wages, chests, licences and fees remove $FLORA for good. What a player can pile up per day is small and bounded.
Few, bounded sources
- 01.Daily claim of 10 $FLORA (once every 24h)
- 02.Starting balance of 80 $FLORA
- 03.Level bonus (limited by account age)
- 04.Mission rewards, once each
- 05.Dispensary sales, with market depth
Everything else burns
- Facility builds, speed-ups, and personnel wages
- Hiring, chests and rank-ups
- Land purchases and market fee (2.5% + patent)
- Room consumables (energy, water and nutrients)
- Forge and Breeding Chamber licences and fees

Utility inside the game
NFTs built for utility, not speculative flip cycles
An NFT exists solely for in-game mechanics: a land parcel produces, a crew member grants an operational buff, an avatar asserts identity.
6 landraces
Strains
Seeds, crosses and patents
Every strain is a card with its THC, CBD, terpenes and lineage. The six landraces come from the planet’s regions; new ones come from your crosses in the Breeding Chamber.

V2P Bridge · Real World Ally
From the virtual world to a real business
Yield Bud Empire brings real brands into the game: today you can discover their products and buy them straight from their store. Nothing in the game is redeemed for products. Your $FLORA never leaves the game; relics can leave for Solana as NFTs and be sold wherever you like, at the price you choose. WOLI CBD S.A. only gets a small royalty (5%) for the art on each resale.
WOLI CBD (Costa Rica)
All-natural cosmetic CBD balm with beeswax and cacao butter, handmade in Costa Rica. A real product, from life outside the game.
400 mg CBD50 ml tinBeeswaxHandmade
Visit official store at wolicbd.com →Costa Rica · cosmetic product: details and purchase only on their store. CBD products are only sold and shipped to countries where they are regulated and can clear customs without problems.
P2P market with escrow
Trade what you own, backed by escrow
Any land, crew member, or avatar can be listed. Once listed, items are placed into escrow: impossible to duplicate or double-use. Purchases execute as a single atomic transaction.
5% burned fee; remaining 95% credited to seller
Price bounds: 1 to 100,000 $FLORA
Maximum 20 active listings per account
Live offers from the game
01
List it
Pick a plot, a staff member or an avatar and set a price. It leaves your account and sits in escrow: it can’t be used or listed twice.
02
Another player buys
They pay in $FLORA. The NFT, the payment and the fee move in one transaction: all of it happens or none of it.
03
5% is burned
The seller gets 95%. The fee leaves the game for good, so every sale shrinks the $FLORA in circulation.

In-game wallet
Linked to Solana and Ronin
Every account generates a unique public game identifier (YBE-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX). Linking Phantom/Solflare/Backpack or Ronin requires a cryptographic signature of a one-time nonce.
Current scope: wallets are linked and verified, and relics can already go out as NFTs to Solana devnet and come back. $FLORA never leaves the game, and signing to link does not move funds.
Your own address
Every account gets a game address YBE-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX. That is where your $FLORA and NFTs live.
Solana
Phantom, Solflare or Backpack. You sign a one-time message (ed25519) and it is linked. One per account.

The browser only shows things and asks for actions (water, apply a technique, build, buy). Each action goes to the server with a unique key so it is never charged twice; the server checks it is valid, moves the balance in a ledger and only then changes the state. Editing the browser does not change your balance.

Frequently Asked Questions
Complete transparency on mechanics, architecture, and economics of Yield Bud Empire.
A cannabis growing game played in the browser, with nothing to install. You start with one plant in a closet and, phase by phase (germination, seedling, vegetative, flowering and maturation), grow into a hydroponic facility. There is a lab, a forge, strain breeding, lands on a seven-region planet and a player market.
